Servings: 5 servings
Equipment
- 1 Mr. Make It Happen Skillet or preferred cooking skillet
- 1 Mr. Make It Happen Chef Knife or preferred kitchen knife
- 1 Large Mixing Bowl
- Carrot/Potato Peeler optional
Ingredients
- 1 lb lo mein noodles you can use spaghetti also
- 1.5 lbs steka sirloin, ribeye, strip, etc
- 1 red and green bell pepper
- 1 onion
- 4 sprigs of green onion
- 3-4 carrots
- AP Seasoning
Sauce:
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon liquid smoke
- ¼ cup oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon garlic
- 1 tablespoon ginger
- 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
- ½ teaspoon chicken bouillon
Instructions
- Begin by knocking out all of your prep work. Prep your veggies and slice the steak.
- Next, prep your sauce. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, oyster sauce, AP and chicken bouillon, sesame oil, and a tablespoon of cornstarch.
- My secret ingredient in the sauce is a little liquid smoke (no more than a tsp) - this brings the authentic take out flavor.
- Once the steak is thinly sliced, season with AP seasoning. Keep the seasoning simple here because the sauce is loaded with flavor (and salt).
- Warm your skillet over medium high and sear your steak on both sides. Once you get some nice crust and color, remove the steak and set it aside.
- Stir fry your veggies in the same skillet until they begin to get tender. Meanwhile, cook your lo mein per package instructions and drain.
- In the same skillet, add your sauce and lo mein noodles. Mix to combine and then add in the steak.
- Taste for seasoning and once it’s right where you want it, plate it up and serve.
Notes
Tips for Success:
- Freeze Steak: Throw the steak in the freezer for 30-60 minutes to help make it easier to slice.
- Slice the Steak Thinly: This ensures quick cooking and tenderness.
- Cook Over High Heat: Stir-frying over high heat preserves the vibrant colors and crisp textures of the vegetables.
- Adjust Seasonings: Taste and adjust the sauce to your preference with additional soy sauce or a dash of sesame oil.
- Use Sharpened Knives: A great Chef’s Knife will make the prep work a lot easier. Here’s 40% off my knife with code “STAYSHARP” at checkout. Https://www.mrmakeithappen.shop
